i'm so romantic that my words help anybody who's sad or who needs to be loved and i get girlfriends left and right but i only stick with one^^

I'm not sure if I'm even right for this topic, to be honest. I've been married for almost 10 years (May 1st is our anniversary). For those of you who care, I'm married to kamitsukai IRL. I was only 16 at the time but it still feels like yesterday that we all went to her sister's birthday party (a 1920's style murder mystery of one Midnight OldAndFat). Everybody was greeted at the door by a young, eccentric woman who would run up to you and exclaim "Have you seen my FLUFFY?!" The hostess unraveled the mystery with great skill and charm; all who listened were enthralled by her telling ... all except for the pretty young lady and I.

The setting perfect and with just what felt like just the two of us, we fell in love. She says she did everything to make herself look as beautiful as possible. I, in a moment of light-hearted foolishness, dismissed this since she was far too beautiful and kind to not be taken already. Still, I took some time to get to know her. When the party was over and all were worn out from an evening of revelry, everybody went their separate ways ... including the cute young lady and myself. I thought I would not see her again.

A number of months later, I received a phone call at my parent's house. It was none other than the beautiful young lady I had fallen for. My heart leapt for joy and we hurried to meet each other again. Sadly, our first date wasn't all that glorious. But for us, it was the best. We decided to go steady a short time later and we continued to grow close for nearly a year. She had since graduated from high school and I had become a senior. It was the next fall that I decided to spend every dime I had and purchase for her a ring. I brought it to her at work, of all places. There, for all of her friends to see, I proposed ... she said "yes".

Not all that much later, when spring traveled with us a while and summer was beckoning us join her that we got married. It was the first day of May. I was 17 and she was 19. Naturally, there was some controversy. But we cared not. The love we held for each other seemed enough to last a lifetime. But as with all things, if it seems too good to be true ...

After a while of coasting in our relationship, our love life (the same that had been a hope and a wonder only a year before) came to a stop. We grew cold with each other and retreated to curt talk of the weather and of one’s work day. It is said that it is the hottest fires than fizzle the quickest.
Thankfully, that is not the end of the story. No, only a few years later, we began to have doubts about our empty, hollow life really being all there is. It was then that we resolved to not give up on our love. It must sound strange coming from me, a married man, but I am now still dating the love of my life. We don't always get the time to do what we want. However, I feel the most romantic moments have been recently. Just sitting and watching movies together while munching on some buttery popcorn could be named a form of romance. Perhaps it can be called romantic to hold hands while walking through the store. Maybe it is romantic to just talk like that of lovers while under a warm comforter in the crisp, wintery months.

I'm not sure how romantic that makes me ... but I'd like to believe that I'm more so now than in the days we met.

That's Beautiful. =)

...Hence,I Rest My Case That I'm Romantic...As I Found That Romantic. =3

Wow. Well, it takes courage to keep trying with the person you're already with, instead of just running away, so goodluck with the rest of it!

As for me, I'm always trying to convince other people that I'm not a hopeless romantic......I don't really know why, because the truth always stares me in the face whenever I'm reading a manga or watching an anime. I just can't lie to myself (j_j)

In truth, romance scares me a bit in real life. I've rejected many a suitor, some I've been really harsh to, and it baffles me to see that they still keep coming. I don't THINK I'm consiously doing anything to encourage them, in fact I thought I was doing the opposite, like wearing baggy clothes, being the "everybody's and yet nobody's friend" type of person, never taking anything seriously. I'm the 'outcast among outcasts' dammit! So, every time it happens, I'm always surprised, and I think I'm somehow operating under the belief that there is "one person for everybody" maybe? It's just scary to me, being that close to somebody, so I always end up saying no. Maybe one day I'll say yes, but not in the foreseeable future.

wow. i am scared too x.x and lol i am sort of everybody's and yet nobody friend T.T but i wear skinny jeans / tight clothes =.= lol

but i'am glad to know that there is someone out there in this world sort like me :]

Hahaha! I do love romance but I think it is too early for me in real life... I did reject some suitors and acted cold to some of them, but I guess unlike you, I had never tried to discourage them or so... I just stayed as friendly and as natural as I am. I always tried to be myself, not trying to please or unplease anybody... ^^'

Me and my boyfriend just reached our first full year yesterday. He took me out to dinner (japanese ofcourse).

He actually admited to me he had liked me for about two years, appaerntly love at first sight even, just after I broke up with my ex (and now best friend). The truth was I had liked him since I first met him but I was compleatly convinced it was one-sided.

The other cool thing is it was exactly half a year we had been together on my birthday, and he bought me this amazing gothic-lolita dress, $340, for it! I was beyond stunned!

I love him so much.

not romantic at all
experience with girls = 0

Hmmm... Does experience have to do with being romantic?
Well then... I guess I'm just Hopeless!
Hahaha! ^^'

i'm hopeless
